VIDEO: POP GROUPS LAUNCH POPPY APPEAL

The Saturdays and Union J, along with other singing stars, have launched this year’s Poppy Appeal at a concert for armed forces’ families.

The stars performed a two-hour gig in a huge aircraft hangar at RAF Northolt in west London for thousands of loved-ones of servicemen and women. Poppy Appeal 2013 aims to raise £37 million, and this year its focus is the families of Army, Royal Air Force and Navy personnel.
